Thank you for your thoughtful query. This is a compelling concept and you’re very talented. After careful consideration, however, Steven does not feel [TITLE] is the right fit for him at this particular time. I should note that his current list is such that he is extremely busy and not taking on anything he can even possibly resist at this time, which played the biggest part in his decision.
We hope this will not discourage you from submitting to other agents. As you likely know, this is an almost entirely subjective industry, and we would not be surprised if another agent feels differently. In any case, thank you again for the opportunity. We wish you the very best as you move forward.
Kind regards,
Courtney
